connerdaboss 20 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Hi I've took my pup out on the lamp a few times but she keeps sprinting flat out at the bunnies and when they turn she overshoots and takes ages to turn as if she's lost sight of it? Anything I can do lads? Atb Edited August 21, 2014 by connerdaboss Quote Link to post

Dewclaw69 484 Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 i'm running a 12 month old collie x grey . only been out 3 times and he's wising up big time. first time out, all misses. next two times he's had bunnies. instead of running at em he's starting to run to cut them off now. no reason a pup with lab in it won't learn quick. keep with it mate Quote Link to post
